Mom throws two sons off freeway overpass, then jumps — all 3 live.
It still hasn’t been reported as to why, but Khandi Busby took her 2 kids and threw them off the overpass onto the freeway. Then she jumped after them.
Khandi, her father and her two sons had pulled over to get fill up their car on the way to a friends house. While her father was paying for the gas, she took her two sons onto the overpass and had tossed them over.
Even though police believe the mother and the eldest son were struck by by cars, miraculously all three have survived.
Busby is now facing potential attempted murder charges. At the very least, I’m sure custody will be taken away.

Uh-oh! Cuckoo! If anyone ever tries to throw any of their own kids out of the (moving) car or off of the freeway overpass, I will be so mad! I have 4 nieces living in Tiburon and if my brother-in-law or his second wife Amy did something like that to either one of them, I will be so mad at them (although they never did that, thank God)!
That crazy bitch needs to go to the mental institution for life!

Okay this is getting really out of hand!!!! This is fu**ing crazy!!!! How do people like this still have custody of their children????? There had to have been signs that she is a nutball!!!!! Thank GOD those kids are still alive!!!!! That women needs to be put away for the rest of her pathedic life!!!! And as far as those kids go, now they have to grow up knowing that their mother tried to kill them!!! I just pray to the Lord that they can try to have a normal happy life!!!! People like this need to be put into a room together and live with eachother and do all the horrible things to themselves and eachother that way they will be getting some kind of karma but than they might just actually see what they were doing is NOT okay but at least they wont be hurting innocent kids anymore….just themselves and i tell you what they deserve that!!!!!! And let me guess she is going to try to get off with the insanity plea!!! Give me a fu**ing break!!!! I am so sick and tired of hearing about how all these fu**ed up people are getting away with Murder and child abuse becasue they claim to be insaine!!!! Yeah dont get me wrong they are all insaine but EVERYONE no matter who you are knows right from wrong!!!!! They all need to be put away and never get out!!!!!

Child protective services intervened twice before and she has a criminal record. Sounds like there were signs she might not be the best mother.
The more I read on this web site the more I wonder if my generation is really the last one to have parents with squeaky clean records. Growing up, I didn’t know anyone whose parents had ever been in trouble with the law. My own dad never even had so much as a speeding ticket. Yet today it seems really common for kids to have parents with a record, even if it’s just a misdemeanor or two.

It said that child protective services had been to her house twice but, in all reality they may not have picked up anything. My step-grandmother called CPS on me and told them whatever she did and they came to my apartment. I am not an abusive mom…..honestly my house is not spotless but hey i have 2 toddlers and i am 8 days over due.
Anyhow what I want to know is why? They said she was no fleeing for her life. Not to mention there are a million cars going by and NO ONE noticed a women and two young kids walking on a by-pass at 6:30 am? If this was such a busy area I would think there would be a cop somewhere close. Cops love to catch speeders on their way to work. I am glad that the kids are ok and I hope see gets her just desserts!!

Is the world going crazy? It seems like we are hearing more and more of these stories all of the time, people doing unspeakable things to their children.

The father of one of the little boys in my son’s preschool class recently committed suicide. I’d met the man a few times and thought he was a really nice guy. But my first thought when I heard he’d killed himself was “How selfish! What about his kids?”
I think this chick trumps that. It’s one thing if you want to kill yourself. But why the hell would you think you have the right to take your kids with you? Maybe you screwed up your own life and feel you’d be better off dead, but they’re just beginning theirs. Better a messed up life knowing your parent killed him/herself than no life at all.

OK - my question is: What were all of the people in cars that were driving by doing? I have two boys, 6 years old and 8years old. Just from their size alone and the fact that while I was picking up one - his brother would have been at the same time tugging at me - it would have taken a good 15-20 minutes or so (at the least) to just lift the first one high enough into the air and over the barrier to be dropped. This is not something taht could have happenned really fast.

I read about this crazy bitch a couple of days ago! I am happy that the kids are alive but I don’t understand why she still has to be… Damn. If only there was a semi cruising that stretch of road at that exact moment….

So I see that she had made comments before that she couldn’t take care of the kids and thought it might be better to just kill herself and them, but she wasn’t taken seriously. Also, she was known to use drugs and bounced from job to job. She felt that the boys kept her from having/keeping a boyfriend!
What is it with these women feeling so desperate to have a boyfriend?

KTexas, I have always wondered about that. I just can’t understand it.
As a mom, there is NO MAN on this earth that I would EVER put before my son. He is the reason that I keep going, not some guy who could be out of my life at anytime. I mean…your kids are going to be your flesh and blood forever. They’re what matters most.

rockdoll_71, You are so right. No person man or woman would ever be before my children on my list.
My husband once complained after the birth of our second child that “…you don’t have much time for me anymore…” I had to tell him that the time I was spending to be with him was because I had taken my shower off the list that day. Also, I told him that at least he was on my list of things to do (truth be told I don’t even have me time on the list), so in short he got on the list and I’m not even on the list. I love him with all my heart and plan on spending the rest of my life with this man, but if he leaves I will survive. If I lose my kids, I can’t survive that. So, how could this woman do this?

I would hope that my husband and I will never seperate but, I can wake up alone in bed without him. Not seeing my kids in the morning….I don’t think so. I can deal with not cuddling with him but, not cuddling with my kids no freakin way!!

Maminka and lovingmom, I’m with you guys all the way.
I can’t even imagine my life without my little son. Just one smile from him is worth living for.
Things changed a lot between his father and I when the baby came home. I know that I paid more attention to the baby but he should have expected that. Well, to make a very long story short, his father started acting like a jerk and I made him go. I flat out told him, “If you expect me to choose, you won’t like my choice.” That’s been several months ago.
Like I say, I can live without a man but not without my baby. I would rather die than be without him.

Rockdoll, good for you! Not only does your little guy deserve a mommy who puts him first the way you do, YOU deserve NOT to be nagged by his father that you’re not spending enough time with daddy.
Being a new mom is all-consuming. He should revere you for being such a great mom that you do devote more time to his baby than to him. If he doesn’t, then to hell with him!

Ihavekidstoo, thanks a lot for that.
He really surprised me by acting the way that he did. I HAD this great guy. (or so I thought) We went through a lot together. My little one came so close to dying when he was born because of my diabetes. We went through so much together. I was really surprised when he started acting like a selfish a–hole. He would become upset that the baby cried because it would “keep him awake”. BOO FREAKIN HOO. I just told him to go sleep on the couch.
Now that I have filed for child support, you would think that I did something horrible. How dare I expect him to support a child that he helped create? I swear I thought I knew him. After four years, you think you know somebody. How wrong I was. My friends were so surprised when he started behaving the way that he did. Everyone, including my mom, said “He’s jealous of the baby.” I still can’t believe it but you know what? It doesn’t really matter because I made him go. I wasn’t going to be fighting in front of the baby and have him upset all of the time. It’s not fair to have my child upset because his dad is throwing a tantrum.
To be honest, I am glad he’s gone now.

Rockdoll, even though you know you did the right thing and what’s best for your son, I’m sure it still must have been painful and difficult. I applaud you for putting your baby first.
As for knowing someone, I don’t think you ever really can, no matter how much you love someone. Two years ago, my husband did something that bordered on illegal, got caught and fined over $30K. He kept the whole mess secret from me for over a year and the only way I found out was when a co-worker came across a news report on the internet with his name in it (yes, it actually got media coverage) and asked if I was related to this person (unusual last name). I confronted him and he gave me this B.S. excuse that it happened right after the baby was born, he didn’t really do anything wrong and he kept it from me to protect me from the stress of it.
I told him flat out that if it wasn’t for the fact that we had a baby together and I’d already invested 12 freakin years in the relationship that I would have left his sorry ass. Not for screwing up, but for LYING to me about it. And for so long! I also made it clear that if he ever keeps something from me again, he’s history, kid or no kid, even if he is a great dad. I don’t need a liar in my life and neither does my son.
He’s walked the straight and narrow ever since - or so I hope. But I’ll never really know, will I, until the next time?

Ihavekidstoo, I don’t blame you for leaving (like you said not for the screw up, but I couldn’t live with the lying either), and you are right that is a bad example for your child to see. I’m love to say I’m sorry to both you and rockdoll_71, but you both seem like strong independent woman and mothers. So, I’d rather say how happy I am that both your’ children have mothers that would choose a better living enviornment over a man (if this site has taught us anything, being a sperm donor does not make you a father).
